May 23, 2011: Game 4 was, indeed, classic on many levels. It was one of the most remarkable games in Mavericks’ playoff history. Dirk Nowitzki was a beast with 40 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter, all of them coming as the Mavericks erased a 99-84 deficit by holding the Thunder to two points on its last 12 possessions. The Mavericks outscored Oklahoma City 17-2 in the final five minutes of regulation and 28-6 including overtime. (DMN)
